[BIGDADDYDAUG]

I recently deleted and re installed my tcp/ip stack to try to clear up a problem in connecting to the web.I finally cleared up the problem with the connection but now I seem to be experienceing a problem with the ip stack.Every time I put my PC into sleep mode and wake it up again I must reboot to get my dialup networking to function properly.What can I do to correct this?Delete and reinstall the ip stack once again?

OK.Forgive my ignorance what is an ACPI/Standard PC? Win 98,128 megs ram, 20 gig hdd, AMD 333mgz,set as a server.I have never changed my power supply.So I don't think it's that.

remove all of your network settings, reboot, re-install, if you get the messeges" this file is older then the one you alrady own - keep the newer ones. Maybe something loaded out of place..

By mentioning ACPI I was only saying that the problem could have been just about anything with the presently supplied info.

Here's the answer to the ACPI question.

ACPI

(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) A power management specification developed by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn its peripherals on and off for improved power management especially in portables. It also allows the PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so that the touch of a mouse or the press of a key will "wake up" the machine. ACPI support is built into Windows 98.

In WinY2K, ACPI might create a problem with IRQ assignments. Some devices don't like shared IRQ's so changing the way your computer deals with your hardware and assigned IRQ's might clear up some kiinds of symptoms or problems in WinY2K. Removing the ACPI support by selecting your type of computer as being a Standard PC at either Windows Y2K installation, or in the update driver of System Properties and Computer, Properties.

Note: Converting to a Standard PC from a ACPI enabled computer doesn't work well. ACPI to Standard PC has a problem with the hardware abstration layers information stored in the registry. The ACPI registry information isn't thoughly removed from the registry is how I heard it. Something about left over instructions from the ACPI configuration.
